The Civil Affairs Department of the Tibetan Autonomous Region plans to invest CNY29.85 million to build a new children's welfare center to meet the increasing demand of orphaned and disabled children. <\/p>\n
The existing Tibetan Children's Welfare Center, which was built in 1999, is now no longer able to meet the needs of orphaned and disabled children due to its limited facilities.<\/p>\n
The new children's welfare center is slated to open in 2010 with a total construction area of 11,950 square meters. Providing 300 beds, the center will consist of a children's activity area, a recovery area, a service area, and a residential area.<\/p>\n
At present, the Tibetan Children's Welfare Center cares for up to 900 orphaned and disabled children. By the end of 2007, there was a total total of 5,073 registered orphaned and disabled children in Tibet, but most of these were scattered throughout the region and did not have a home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
